Big Stick Energy

“Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far” Theodore Roosevelt We are witnessing in real time the “Trump Effect” where the implementation of Trump policies began the night of the election. It is almost as if Trump became the president on November 6th and Biden nearly evaporated from reality. Why? There are […]

Trump Flashback

I wrote this in December of 2015, nearly a year before Trump was elected the first time. How did it age? He is bold, brash, bombastic and has an ego that will barely fit in the marble plated atrium of a New York City skyscraper. He is a self-made billionaire who flies his private 757 […]

We Will Pray for Them

The cries of fascism, racism, sexism, and isim-ism, continue to be bantered about by info babes and gals and those in the written media even two weeks after the election. Unfortunately, a withered worn-out endomorph in Hollywood has published a “screed” on his web page that can only be produced by a heart infected by […]

We Need an Idaho Donald Trump

Today has been a great day. First Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are given portfolio and title to lead the new Department of Government Efficiency. CNN certainly has a different take on what is about to happen than the new directors themselves: https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/12/politics/elon-musk-vivek-ramaswamy-department-of-government-efficiency-trump/index.html https://nypost.com/2023/11/13/news/vivek-ramaswamy-vows-to-fire-federal-workers-based-on-social-security-numbers-nothing-will-break Classical business governance dogma—I must admit that it has over the […]

Trump’s Election is a Mandate for Change

A Mandate for Change: Trump winning this election will change the course of America back to its original premise of Freedom, Justice, and Prosperity for all. We have seen the enemy and it was us. Fortunately, Americans saw how they were being manipulated for the past 4 years under Biden/Harris and said very loud and […]

MAGA Mania

Traditional Main Stream Media has committed suicide, but the corpse will be with us for a while. We have elected the modern-day equivalent of Hitler, a fascist dictator who will end democracy, force women to have babies, has unlimited powers granted by the Supreme Court, will jail his political opponents, has called white supremacists “fine […]

Faith, has always informed our political philosophy and politics in our country, starting with the words of our GREAT DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.—’WE are endowed by our Creator […]

Alibis Destroy Character

Any follower or disciple of the great philosopher and Apologetic L. Marvin Moorehead, who practiced his craft like a mid-20th century Socrates in classrooms and on football fields in Central Ohio, has forever “imprinted on their brains” the words “ALIBIS DESTROY CHARACTER”. 2000 years earlier the greatest of all teachers and The Son of God […]

Will this be the last Election in America?

I certainly hope and pray that this will not be the last election, but as we all know, the Lord works in mysterious ways. I must admit that our country is at a crossroads and it is certainly a time for prayer. Being a member of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, I recently received a letter […]

Liberation Day?

November 5th as Liberation Day? I like it. The Left going mad? Absolutely. Harris a pathological liar? Obviously. Her campaign a dumpster fire about to be extinguished? I fervently hope so. I hope that 11-6-24 dawns as gloriously as 11-6-16 did. I remember that day well. Trump had been given pretty much a zero chance […]

A Time for Prayer

This may be my last post at the Gem State Patriot before the November Presidential Election. I have attempted to present reasons for voting for President Trump based on political philosophy and Biblical and Natural Law Principles, but today I want to present a very practical and very real reason for supporting DJT—MILITARY READINESS is […]
